Thank you @DitchThatTxtbk for the Halloween Escape Room! We stayed socially distanced while engaging online and in-person learners in problem-solving, collaborative FUN! 🎃😀 lots of smiles, laughter, and celebrating!

@Erica__Beckett @Mrs_VanOstern @Leslie_Johnson_ I’d love a copy too

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle My GATE students’ engagement AKA competitiveness was an all time high! But they couldn’t follow the constraints. A dose of academic humility was good for them, too! 😂 I projected correct answers on a Google Slide and they wanted to “top” each other (and work during recess)

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

Students loved our first Jamboard! They didn't want to stop trying to solve this @openmiddle problem! @TUSDschools

@theresawills @MasonMathEd Thanks!! Working on rounding right now!

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

@TUSDschools @tustinusd @suptfranklin @TUSDthrives It’s time for some positivity! A parent emailed this message to me 🥰 #weareallgoingtoshine Times are tough and so is TUSD! 😀

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

Hoping next week’s synchronous teaching goes better! 😂 No easy answers for schools right now! I feel one way we all can make a difference is to help children focus on the positives. 🥰 I’m choosing to find the humor in my not-so-flattering outtakes. @TUSDthrives #tusdgate

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

@venezia_megan Thanks for creating and sharing these! Let me know if I can help with anything else for SS!! Happy to collaborate!

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

@venezia_megan Awesome slides!! Thank you for sharing! I love your creations! (Get some rest, too!!)

[Michael Matera @mrmatera]

Ok folks... While we still should be practicing social distancing I thought I would share this great resource. Check out some of these games and give them a try.

Please Retweet this so people learn the joy of play can stay strong during this global pandemic!

@MrazKristine @CotsenAoT Realize I’m passing back my students’ supplies during tomorrow’s Cotsen session! ☹️ but my students: made a spy costume (to go spy on a cousin), made a pyramid, took out small clothes to donate to charity, made a jump rope out of a jacket and jumped rope, lots of reorganization!

[Janis Leach @ladyleach]

@venezia_megan @AppleEDU Wow! Such a great activity!! Thank you!
